he sent a spy in to see what ethan allen was doing, but it's the same spy ethan allen sent into to fort ticonderoga, 10 that didn't work. [laughter] when the revolution was over, ethan allen remarried. his wife had died of tb. he married a much younger woman, 26 years old. the illegitimate daughter of a swiss engineer in the army raised by the aunt, and that aunt married a loyalist who committed suicide, but left 40,000 acres of land in the connecticut valley, so she and her aunt were trying to sell the land, and ethan allen met her in a boarding house run by the chief justice of vermont. he needed a source of income, proposed to her right away. he would not take an oath of marriage, but he married anyway. they rode off in a sled in the winter time, and back to benington where ethan allen was writing the most inpen traitble document i had ever seen, 500 pages called "reason, the only oracle of man." he needed an editor. he never had one. he apparently dictated all of it. they didn't have spell check, so he must have had a literal clerk, a young college garage rat who -- graduate who nee

oh, ethan allen, oh, ethan allen. and seems to be the part vermonters are most proud of. [laughter] >> but they know little beyond that, even beyond the schools. ethan allen, among other things, i found, just to start out with a little summary -- in addition to taking the most formidable fort with 89 men and not fire a shot, he was the first published diased philosopher. he organized 29 communities to defend the new hampshire grants as it was known. there still wasn't a new hampshire. preserving the homesteads until the revolution came along, for 40 years. he was a prolific author. i was surprised at how much he wrote. but he was better known as the land speculator and the two things connected between ethan allen bought and sold land, bought it as cheaply as he could and sold it in small parcels to hundreds and hundreds of frontier families but if you didn't have any money on hand to buy a piece of land when he came you through his clearing he sold you a pamphlets or he got a few acres or parted with a schilling. he really is the founding father of vermont because without

so, that's the story of ethan allen. why don't we know more about it? because they took on the puritan clergy and they lived after she died when missionary from new haven came up and literally stumbled even alan's great. they said on february 12th, ethan allen, the general from vermont and he died in presides in hell where he looks up forever toward heaven from the flames. you get the idea and that went from pulpit to pulpit until his memory went along with it. was revived in the civil war when the green mountain boys swarmed into the uniform at the site of gettysburg and the cold harbor etc. more per-capita fought and died on the union side than any other state and that's also the legacy of ethan allen and the planes that fly to patrol for new york city since 9/11 are the green mountain boys of vermont. his legacy was a state with dissent, never really agreeing even among its congressional delegation from the west side of the mountains to the east side of the mountains but it has a strong reputation for diversity and most of all the legacy of ethan all

first down. >> dan: ethan johnson. that's killer. >> mike: you want to talk about just continuing to hurt yourself, here's ethan right there. why jump on him there? he's down. i mean that's losing your composure. instead of a third down situation where you've got a chance to get the football back, they're now on your 48 yard line with a first down. >> dan: that's a senior, a guy that's played in now his 39th game here at notre dame with a penalty. how many penalties have there been on notre dame today? with that it moves the ball into notre dame territory at the 48. south florida with a first and ten. they'll keep it on the ground to murray who makes his way inside the 45. to answer your question, mike, eight penalties for 72 yards for the irish. >> mike: almost double what they averaged last year, which was four and a half. most of them key penalties. one took a touchdown off the board. brian kelly has got to be as frustrated as he's ever been in his career. penalties, turnovers. >> dan: everything you tell your team

that went from pulpit to pulpit to pulpit until ethan allen's memory went to the pit with it. .. even among its congressional delegation. never agreeing from the west side of the mountains to the east side of the mountains. but it has a strong reputation for diversity and dissent and most of all the legacy of ethan allen, since his time where people went to start over, to start again. thank you. [applause] >> this is where i usually say fire at will. >> we have time for one or two questions. >> and the review of your book, reference is made to his being and at the get of separation of church and state. can you comment further on that? >> well his attack on the established church of new england in his book is just that. he doesn't think that you should have a puritan hierarchy. in vermont or in new england. he was speaking mostly to new england. he did not use the word separation of church and state. that phrase was coined by thomas jefferson in a letter to the secretary of the navy during a bitter re-election campaign in 1803 that there should be a wall of separation. jefferson's

ago in anticipation of palin's speech in iowa this weekend. >> hi, ethan, as you know, governor palin a major announcement in iowa on september 3, if she announces a run for white house, i expect a on-air apology from your boss. after all, it would only be right for your boss to publicly admit he was wrong." okay, first of all, jeff, i'm nobody's boss. i know i dress like one on tv, but i'm just one of the people who works on this show. i'm the front man for everyone else who does the real work on this show. i have no power to hire and fire anyone. that's what a boss is. and then secondly, i'll apologize as soon as i'm wrong about sarah palin running for president, and, of course, as we now know, sarah palin went to iowa saturday and announced absolutely nothing. she did the same thing yesterday in new hampshire. joining me now to discuss what sarah palin is really up to, the man who can read sarah palin's mind, eugene robinson. eugene, she keeps playing this game and playing it well enough to fool, i don't know, the critical number that allows "the new york times" today to say "ms. p

my name is ethan. this is regarding 215 noey street. this goes back to 2003. the owners bought the apartment complex in 2000, and there was a complete by a neighbor in 2006. the owners got a permit. they wanted to see if they could replace the tenants in a different location. they were unable to do that. be permit lapsed. they got the permit reinstated at the end of 2006. dbi gave them more time to do an eviction. the tenet that the san francisco board of appeals -- tenant got the san francisco board of appeals to stay the permanent. since then, there has been no action. there has been no action by dbi. dbi issued a fine for non- compliance. our clients are between a rock and a hard place. the cannot fix the unit. the need to either get a permit and suspended or get other people into the property, and that is what we're looking for. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. in with the department of public health, here to speak with regards to the property, not help center one. we would like to resolve this matter with the department of build

>> the ambient noise measurements -- my name is ethan halter. the measurements of background noise that we took on the evening of july 8 were noted in our report. they were higher than those noted in the wia report, but similar to the ones noted in the entertainment commission report. vice president garcia: is that formulary? it seems as though when i was reading the papers that were you to want to know about ambient noise levels in a given block there is some more you can go and a chart that would tell you what that is. it is not an independent reading taken by someone such as yourself or someone else. there is an exact, absolute number that exists out there. is that inaccurate, my impression? >> if i may say, there are guidelines to typical background noise levels in a variety of different types of neighborhoods. indeed wia report, they show a graphic that shows everything from rural farm land to right next to train tracks. those could be considered reasonably representative of a typical neighborhoods of that type. there is also the on-site me
